since this is the 'love and dating' forum, for love and dating I'm interested in women... or actually a woman
I've spread my life story (well, really just certain chapters of it) around this website which are easier to find and read than having me re-type everything here.
To summarize though...
I like:
Music - I listen to it (just about all types... really!), and play it (mostly old-timey fiddle/banjo/mandolin, but also learning electric guitar/bass, saxophone, pennywhistle, and just about any other instrument I can get my hands on).
Outdoors - used to teach wilderness survival, have taken extended trips in the bush, but I like short hikes also - kayaking - running(although I can do that alone if necessary) - snowboarding (Shasta, Dodge Ridge, Ashland, and maybe someday Bend) - bicycling (I ride a recumbent although I still have my mountain bike) - snowshoeing and open to other outdoor activities.
I like independent movies, foreign films and some hollywood.
I like to read books on a variety of subjects
I am not into any organized religions, although I do consider myself spiritual (and a little superstitious sometimes)
I have never smoked, and drank/drink extremely little(no more than a glass of anything at one sitting, last time was probably several months ago at home), I'm not into pot or other recreational drugs.
I don't like loud places like clubs or bars (worked in too many to ever enjoy the 'scene'), but concerts I can handle with earplugs if necessary.
Any of my quirks surrounding my ADD/HD or anything else, you'll have to find out in person other than what you read on WP.
My daughter is the MOST important person in my life... yep... even more than me!
I like to cuddle and hug, but I am not comfortable with being pushy about that or anything else... it all comes down to respect.
I can type extremely long posts and might forget what the topic is about by the time I finish.
I'm wondering if I've said too much already or if there's something important I have missed...
Oh, I work and hopefully will own my own place within the next year.
After my daughter is on her own (4 or 5 years I figure), I'm looking to probably move away from the Northern California coast.
I really don't take this thread too seriously, but this is the only way I'll ever post a 'dating' profile about myself and the good part is I know this will be buried in the near future
After reading all that, I realize I forgot to say I am recently divorced (as of Sept. 1, 2007 according to the papers), and not bitter or angry with her, and I hope her life goes well for her.
It's tough to realize after 17 yrs, that looking at each other now, we can both acknowledge there are things that should have told us it was not going to be the best relationship for either one of us. I have to say though, we certainly tried (I had the pleasure of having the greatest mother-in-law... that's for sure!).
Married = 1
Divorced = 1
